Freshly washed hair, a finely polished manicure, the soothing touch of therapeutic massage can brighten a person’s gloomiest day. Imagine what a little pampering can mean for someone whose days are running out? That’s the motivation behind the Lipstick Project, a group of personal care professionals who volunteer their time and talents to provide spa services to patients in palliative and hospice care. This weekend they’re teaming up

respite from doctors and nurses, a chance to look good and feel good about themselves, to reconnect with their former, healthy selves. So she did some simple things— brushed their hair, cut their nails, washed their faces. Their smiles of appreciation stuck with Boyle when a friend’s mother-in-law went into hospice care in North Vancouver. After Boyle visited, staff at the North Shore Hospice told her they were waiting for someone who could bring their patients some pampering.

Three people have been arrested after it took Burnaby RCMP just three hours to solve a major fraud case. The fraudsters victimized businesses in Burnaby, Vancouver, Delta and Kelowna. Burnaby RCMP’s Economic Crime Unit first got word of the scheme on Sept. 30 at 6:30 a.m. when they learned a fraudulent credit card purchase was made at a Burnaby hotel. Investigators learned the suspect checked in using fraudulent identification and a credit card. That card belonged to a Florida resident who confirmed she had not used it in Burnaby, say Burnaby RCMP. By 7:55 a.m. officers had arrested their first suspect. Two more suspects, both men, were arrested shortly after 9 a.m. when they got back to the hotel. Police uncovered several charges made with numerous fraudulent credit cards at two high-end Vancouver hotels and a hotel in Kelowna. Police believe the suspect booked into hotels using stolen B.C. driver’s licences and fraudulent credit cards from multiple victims. please see three, A3

Pampering good for patients and families ⫸

“It’s not a vanity thing,” said Boyle. “It helps people have a good day. It helps them feel as close to their healthy self as possible.” In the two years since, the Lipstick Project has grown to 60 volunteers who provide their services to six hospices, hospitals and care centres around Metro Vancouver. They’re hair stylists, nail technicians and massage
therapists who are passionate about their vocation. Most of them are young, said Boyle. “There’s something about this that resonates,” said Boyle of their dedication to help people going through the most difficult time of their life. “Anyone who’s had a loved one go through it understands.” Boyle said it’s not just women who appreciate their services. About half the Lipstick Project’s
clients are men, who might just need a hair or beard trim, or their nose hairs clipped, to feel better about their appearance. “It’s usually the small things that help,” said Boyle. The pampering doesn’t just comfort the dying patients, said Boyle. It also lifts some of the gloom for their families. “They’re happy to see their loved one happy,” said Boyle. “Happiness is so fleeting at the
end of life.” Boyle said the funds raised by the Kiss Wall will help the Lipstick Project expand to more facilities. And her team is always looking for additional volunteers, especially manicurists and pedicurists. Kiss for a Cause is at the Atrium Court at Metropolis at Metrotown until Oct. 13, during mall hours.

He is also alleged to have fraudulently rented four vehicles, all of which were recovered by police. One of the rental vehicles was seized by police during the arrests. A search of the hotel room and vehicle led to the discovery of numerous fraudulent credit cards and pieces of identification, gift cards, rental agreements, a computer, storage devices and fake government cheques. Raymond Warner, 28, of Vancouver, Reid Van Delft, 29, of Kelowna and Sara Vasey, 26, of no fixed address face numerous fraud charges. Warner and Van Delft have an extensive history of fraud and are being held in custody until their next court appearance on Oct. 14. “This was a perfect storm of circumstances where the police worked very closely with businesses to stop these people from committing further fraud,” said Burnaby RCMP Insp. Bob Page. “Our investigators didn’t hesitate and within a few hours these people were arrested.” twitter.com/WandaChow

to city basics such as garbage collection, local roads, bridges and tunnels. As a result, in the past 10 years, Burnaby was successful in receiving only one grant from the fund, $271,067 for the solar hot water pool heating project at Bonsor Complex. The new 10-year agreement is made up of three funds. The Community Works Fund, estimated to be worth $519.3 million between 2014-2019,
will be allocated largely on a per capita basis, which favours Metro Vancouver cities, and lets the municipalities decide how to spend it. The Strategic Priorities Fund, $145.2 million over the first five years, is by application for projects and reserved for communities outside Metro Vancouver. The Greater Vancouver Regional Fund, $652.4 million over five years, goes to TransLink projects.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Mitchell Wentzell spotted this owl while he and his wife were in Byrne Creek Park this summer.
Vacant homes It’s a strange world we live in, when people can buy a house and afford to leave it vacant. Yet it’s a phenomenon that’s become common in some Vancouver neighbourhoods, especially the west side. Numerous homes, heritage or not, boarded up for years while absentee owners wait until the neglect inevitably leads to demolition. Or it’s time to flip and sell for a profit. There are so many of these houses that—surprise—a website has sprung up to document them. It isn’t just the neighbours with these eyesores on their streets that suffer. The local economy hurts too. Local merchants are left with a smaller customer base, hurting their bottom lines. And meanwhile, these empty homes do nothing to alleviate our tight rental market. And of course by tying up this real estate, these empty homes may also be contributing to keeping prices high due to low supply compared to demand. In Vancouver, some are suggesting a vacant home tax. While empty homes haven’t become an issue yet in Burnaby or New Westminster, it’s one to keep an eye on, as local real estate continues to be an attractive form of investment. Other cities have set up such a tax to prevent investors from turning neighbourhoods into ghost towns. And it would be relatively simple to do. But the effectiveness would be limited as long as it’s a onepronged approach. Anyone who can afford to leave a multimillion-dollar home abandoned and unrented for years is unlikely to flinch at even a doubling of property tax. That said, the added revenue generated for a city could be directed into a fund for affordable housing, or to assist local merchants. Vacant homes leak the lifeblood out of a neighbourhood. The owners, not their neighbours, should pay to help put it back.

Crime is part of Surrey’s fabric It is no small coincidence that the verdict in the Surrey Six murder trial was handed down last Thursday, at a time when Surrey residents are fed up to the teeth with the murder and mayhem in this city. On Oct. 19, 2007, six men were murdered in a Whalley highrise as part of a turf war between rival drug gangs. As citizens reel from the latest murder of Serena Vermeersch, another completely innocent victim, on Sept. 16, let’s not forget the long string of previous murders and the many innocent victims – Chris Mohan and Ed Schellenberg among them. Let’s not forget Julie Paskall, a hockey mom who was at Newton Arena to pick up her son on Dec. 31, 2013 when she was murdered. It is unfortunate that the anger which erupts when a particularly brutal incident, which certainly applies to all three of the crimes mentioned, cannot be sustained. However, when it dissipates, the politicians, judges, lawyers
Frank Bucholtz and law enforcement officials who often play an unwitting role in these crimes by their action or inaction, get off the hook. A discussion I took part in a few days ago reminded me of just how long this has been going on – and the crime I was discussing with people is only memorable because of its utter brutality. It left an impression on Surrey that has never gone away, and perhaps it never will. The online discussion was with several people who were children in Surrey at the time of Clifford Olson’s reign of terror, way back in 1981. Olson lived in a highrise on King George Highway, within sight of the highrise that was the scene of the Surrey Six murder
7438 Fraser Park Dr., Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9 newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com burnabynewsleader.com | newwestnewsleader.com
decades later. In the spring and summer of 1981, Olson was busy snatching children and teens off the street and murdering them. He was convicted of 11 murders, but most police involved in his case agree there were many more murders. Not all the child killings he was convicted of took place in Surrey, but far too many did. There has been a long series of tragic incidents in this city. At some point in time, we as a community need to ask ourselves why. Surrey is filled with mostly peaceable people who have come here from all over the world. Many who live here grew up in Surrey or nearby. Most Surrey residents want better lives for their families and work hard to try and make that happen. Unfortunately, there is a strong underbelly of drug dealers, lowlifes and predators with tentacles in far too many places. Surrey RCMP is now the largest detachment in Canada,

and has many excellent officers on staff. But many are new to policing and the RCMP and coming to Surrey as a first assignment is undoubtedly overwhelming. Most citizens feel that the police have too few resources to keep up with all the criminal activity, to say nothing of trying to monitor ex-cons like Raymond Caissie, who has been charged in the Vermeersch murder. Another infamous Surrey moment was when the Whalley Burnouts made national news in the 1980s and made the city a laughing stock from coast to coast. Surrey doesn’t need to be this way. But it will take strong and sustained action by thousands of citizens to change it. Don’t count on politicians to make it better. Ultimately, it’s up to everyone.

SOME ARE BEYOND HOPE
Over the years I’ve read the right wing rants of Ziggy Eckardt. Most times, they are mindless, harmless dribble. But his letter of Oct. 1 (Antipipeline activists assisting global terrorism) has reached a new pinnacle. When he compares folks concerned about pipelines, and the effects on their environment to supporting international terrorism, he has really gone beyond common sense conclusions. Using Ziggy’s logic, I suppose he supports the following conclusions: “The Earth is round… so is an orange… therefore, the Earth is an orange.” Back to the drawing boards on this rant Ziggy! Gord Larkin Burnaby
Why not send all these violent repeat offenders, who have no regard for human life, over to help fight ISIS. Raymond Caissie and others like him, and their lawyers who always get their clients found not criminally responsible. Raymond Caissie knew exactly what he was doing. All too often, not criminally responsible is a crutch, the public, courts, police, corrections, know that you cannot rehabilitate or monitor these criminals. Deborah Insall Burnaby

Carrier delivers style WATERMAIN FLUSHING with his newspapers The City Engineering Department will be commencing its annual program of flushing and cleaning watermains on October 1st, 2014 through until December 19th, 2014.
Mario Bartel
This activity may cause pressure fluctuations, some discoloration and sediment in the water supply reaching your home or business. These conditions should be of short duration and do not pose a health hazard.
Saturday is International Newspaper Carrier Day, but David Verhaeghe will be taking a break from his four paper routes to watch the baseball playoffs on TV. Verhaeghe, 50, has been delivering 340 copies of the Burnaby NewsLeader twice a week for two years. He started the job out of necessity because he didn’t have a job. But it’s become his passion, his ticket to get out of his basement suite, meet new people, form friendships and maybe score some cookies or banana bread along the way. Since taking on the paper routes, Verhaeghe has become a bit of a fixture around his South Burnaby
If your water appears discolored after our crews have finished flushing, clear your water by running a cold water tap.

neighbourhood. He prides himself on getting his papers on doorsteps quickly and efficiently. So much so, when he was delayed one day, one of his customers called 911 to report him missing. Verhaeghe takes his job seriously. He knows his customers rely on him to get their dose of local news as well as the shopping flyers. But he also brings a sense of mirth and style. He’s souped up his delivery cart with colourful handmade panels. He built a customized box to perch on top to increase the cart’s capacity as well as keep the papers dry on rainy days. And he always wears a T-shirt, whether it’s as cold as -11 degrees Celsius or a blazing hot summer day. Please see NEXT PAGE

It takes Verhaeghe seven to 10 hours to complete his rounds. On some days it can be a tough slog, as his right leg has a prosthetic from the knee down. He was injured in a traffic accident in 1998. “I can’t use an exercise bike,” says Verhaeghe. “I need to keep my heart and lungs working. For me this is like a milliondollar job.” Especially when some of his customers offer him treats of appreciation.

Drive What you can’t see is the 317 kgs that the ‘15 F-series has lost, thanks to that aluminum body and the increased use of high-strength steel in the frame – but, you can certainly feel it while driving. The truck is nimbler, has less wash in the corners and simply handles better. The cab is virtually silent and for comfort, the HVAC is split side-toside, front and rear. The hood and side windows have dropped in profile for better visibility, while the size, colours and quality of the computer generated gauges and controls simplifies operation while driving. I towed with the new truck and its manners are good if not improved. In part, this is assisted by the long list of towing features like trailer sway control; tow/haul mode; Dynamic Hitch Assist, SelectShift transmission and better tow mirrors. Off-road an electronic manual rear
differential locker has been added. This truck churns mud better than ever. Verdict Payload is up (to 900 kgs) and so is towing (approx. 5.5 tonnes) yet overall body weight is down by 317 kgs. Ford offers four engines and even the smallest 2.7L EcoBoost will still tow up to 3.8 tonnes. The cab is quieter, yet larger. The floor is flat yet has more storage compartments. The dash is less cluttered yet offers more information. Do you sense a theme here? Consider that the design phase of this truck took four years and the testing was the most intense ever. The result? A list of improvements a hockey rink long – that’s a fact. Now, how will they all work together? Well Ford’s claims will have to play out on roads, across Canada, in the coming years. But from what I’ve seen in Texas, I’d say Giddy Up!

Five things that will kill your classic car
By Rob Sass Driveway
Appliance care Choose a licensed natural gas contractor Natural gas is used safely and reliably in homes across B.C. Having your natural gas appliances regularly inspected and maintained by a licensed natural gas contractor helps ensure your safety and keeps them operating at their best. Use the FortisBC Trade Ally Network directory to find a contractor in your community. Learn more at fortisbc.com/appliancesafety.

Contrary to general perception, most classic cars aren’t fragile flowers. In fact, many are anvil-tough, particularly American cars of the 1950s and 1960s, built with real Pennsylvania steel and little plastic. But even these rolling bank vaults can be seriously screwed up by these five things: Non-use: This one is really is counterintuitive. When classic cars come to mind for many, the image of the trailer queen or museum piece looms large; in fact, most people think that these are the best cared-for cars. In actuality, they often turn out to be the most problematic cars when they are finally driven. Non-use is actually abuse — seals dry out and start to leak; gas gets stale and turns to varnish; batteries corrode when not removed; and tires get flat spots. Cars used regularly, on the other hand, are often the happiest and most reliable old cars. Improper storage/rodents: This goes along with the above. Failure to drain fuel or use a stabilizer, not using jack stands, and making certain that anti-freeze is up to snuff all contribute to storage-related deterioration. But perhaps the most destructive force has four teeth and a naked tail — rats and mice, the same rodents that wiped out half the population of Europe by
carrying Bubonic plague, can really mess with your classic car. They chew upholstery and insulation to make nests (in which they pee, poop and reproduce, not necessarily in that order), and worst of all, they chew on wiring harnesses where it isn’t apparent until something smokes or catches fire. Road Salt: Most everyone who has taken chemistry knows that the reaction between Sodium Chloride and steel yields iron oxide, more commonly known as rust. But few people realize how quickly the damage is done. Just one drive on a wet salty road will give your classic an ugly coating of surface rust on anything on the underside that is not well protected, like suspension parts, exhaust and even the frame. A season or two that lets salty mud penetrate the nooks and crannies of your car will almost certainly cause visible rust to erupt. And don’t think you’re immune because your car is fiberglass, there’s plenty of steel to rot away under the pretty plastic panels of your 1972 Corvette Stingray. Conversely, getting caught in the rain every now and then isn’t death for your classic, as long as carpets or trunk mats don’t stay wet. Some of the cleanest and most rust-free old cars we’ve seen come from the damp Pacific Northwest, where it snows little and road salt isn’t used.
Old Tires: Most vintage cars don’t
see 15,000 miles of use each year and, often, totally unsafe tires can look deceptively sound. In addition to tread wear, age, dry rot, flat spots and UV exposure can render tires unsafe. About six or seven years should be tops in terms of tire life, regardless of how the tires may look. A blowout or a thrown tread can not only threaten your life, it can severely damage your car severely as I found out first hand when an otherwise fine-looking tire threw a tread and put a football-sized dent in the lower quarter panel of a formerly pristine 1977 Datsun 280Z. Bad driving habits: Perhaps the most destructive thing you can do to a vintage car is to not let it warm up properly. I’ve witnessed tons of people who should know better start up a cold car and zing it to the redline with the first shift. It’s painful to watch and more painful to realize the harm done to the engine. Always drive gently until the car has reached normal operating temperature (usually around the mid-point of the temperature gauge). Rob Sass is vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance.

BC Parkway upgrades mean smoother riding, better walking Mario Bartel
photo@burnabynewsleader.com
Cyclists and pedestrians are already enjoying a smoother traverse along one section of the BC Parkway as it travels through Burnaby. And they’ll soon have an easier time negotiating two more sections. The improvements are part of a $2.4-million project to upgrade troublesome areas of the 26-km multi-use path that runs along much of the Expo SkyTrain line from Vancouver to Surrey City Centre. The projects include improved lighting in some sections, better separation between cyclists and pedestrians in others, and even realignment of the route to take it away from darker, isolated areas. The work is being funded by TransLink, the City of Vancouver and the City of Surrey. “The Parkway has many sections in need of upgrade and realignment, separation from pedestrians, bus stops and SkyTrain stations, and removal of pinch points,” said Dennis Hansen, the chair of HUB’s Burnaby committee. “The objective is to be an AAA
bike way, All Ages and Abilities, suitable for anyone from 8 years old to 80 years to ride safely and securely.” The stretch of the parkway that runs parallel to Rumble Street, between Griffiths and Gilley has already been improved with new pavement. Another section that’s due for an upgrade is immediately east of the Patterson SkyTrain station where the path is so heaved by tree routes cyclists avoid it altogether to ride on Beresford Street and pedestrians negotiate a narrow sidewalk. The third section slated for improvement is the narrow, rutted stretch that skirts the New Westminster border west of the 22nd Street SkyTrain station. Blind bends along that stretch can also make it difficult for cyclists and pedestrians to see each other. “These much-needed repairs to the BC Parkway will make the path safer and easier for people to use,” said Sany Zein, the director of infrastructure and network management at TransLink. All of the work is expected to be completed by the spring of 2015.

Two distinct communities are situated within the development: Woodside and Briarwood. Both

European-made high-quality laminate flooring is featured

The ensuite bathrooms in the master suite include dual sinks for added convenience, a relaxing soaker tub and a separate shower with tile surround and a frameless glass door. Homes at Woodside include heated floors in the ensuite, while the Briarwood homes have in-floor heat in the master bedroom as well. The community includes homes with parking for recreational vehicles, landscaped parks, and natural trails, with amazing river and mountain views.

Boffo’s Adagio is hitting a high note in South Surrey, with elegant kitchens, luxurious bathrooms and plenty of space for living, relaxing and entertaining. Homeowners will also have access to a stunning community courtyard, among other amenities.
Italian traditions at Boffo’s Adagio By Kerry Vital
Boffo has been one of the top developers in the Lower Mainland for decades, and they are known for beautiful homes. They’ve brought their expertise to South Surrey with Adagio, a condominium project that has already been extremely popular with local purchasers. “Everyone who has moved in already has been absolutely thrilled by the amenities, the homes and the entire aesthetic,” says sales manager Sandra Miller. “Boffo has a long history of Italian traditions and attention to detail, and these homes are reflective of that.”
A beautifully landscaped community courtyard with trees, paths and garden plots is just one of the amazing things available for residents at Adagio. “Every aspect has been taken care of here,” says Miller. “The Boffo stamp is on this project. We’re very proud of it.” Inside, the one-bedroom and den, twoand three-bedroom homes feature nine-foot ceilings (12 feet on the top floor) and large windows that let the natural light pour in. Large terraces and patios add to your living space. The kitchen is an absolute highlight. Natural granite or quartz slab countertops are matched with a complementary backsplash, and the under-cabinet and recessed lighting beautifully illuminates your tasks. Stainlesssteel appliances, including a five-burner gas cooktop and a 36-inch counter-depth fridge, and 40-inch upper cabinets are perfectly situated, and large kitchen islands feature
a wine chiller and tons of space for food preparation or casual dining. Premium laminate flooring is featured throughout the main living areas, while the bedrooms include carpet made for sinking your toes into. The bathrooms are luxurious and soothing, with either an oversize shower with frameless glass enclosure or an oversize soaker tub/ shower combination. Bathrooms include a built-in wall niche, and ensuites have a radiant heated floor. The custom suspended under-lit vanity and natural granite or quartz countertops are complemented by a matching backsplash.
Most ensuites include a his-and-hers vanity for extra convenience. The community is one of the big draws for purchasers at Adagio. “The location is fantastic,” Miller says. “You can’t beat it.” Located in the Semiahmoo neighbourhood, residents at Adagio will find everything they can possibly imagine on their front doorstep. From dining at one of the delicious local restaurants to shopping at nearby Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, Morgan Crossing or Grandview Corners, nothing is out of reach. Leisure and recreation is also close by, with several parks, pools, arenas and clubs in the neighbourhood, as well as White Rock beach. If it’s a bit of culture you’re looking for, you’ll find an art gallery, theatre and museum just minutes away. On-site, homeowners at Adagio will find a lounge with chef ’s demonstration kitchen, double-sided fireplace, televisions, pool table and a large garden and patio area. There is also a fully equipped fitness centre with a steam room. “There is always something going on here,” says Miller. “People appreciate that. It’s a wonderful social atmosphere.” Homes range from one-bedroom and den homes, offering 784 square feet of living space, up to 1,279 square feet for a three-bedroom, three-bath home. For more information, visit AdagioByBoffo.ca, contact sales managers Sandra Miller and Ian Watts of Bay Realty Ltd. at 604-531-6659 or stop by the presentation centre at 101-15360 20th Avenue at 154th, South Surrey, open daily between noon and 5 p.m., except Fridays.

Sales of residential property up almost 18% Comparison of this September to same month one year ago The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in Greater Vancouver reached 2,922 on the Multiple Listing Service in September 2014. That’s a 17.7 per cent increase from the 2,483 sales in September 2013, and a 5.4 per cent increase over the 2,771 sales in August 2014. Last month’s sales were 16.1 per cent above the 10-year sales average for the month and rank as the third-highest selling September over that period. “September was an active period for our housing market when we compare it against typical activity for the month,” said Ray Harris, REBGV president. Meantime, new listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Metro Vancouver totalled 5,259 in September. That’s a 4.6 per cent increase over the 5,030 new listings in September 2013 and a 33.5 per
cent increase from the 3,940 new listings in August. Last month’s new listing total was close to average for the region over the 10-year window, at 0.4 per cent above the listing average for the month. The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS system in Metro Vancouver is 14,832, eight per cent fewer than the same month in 2013. The MLS Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $633,500. That’s a 5.3 per cent increase over September 2013. “Gains in home values are being led by the detached home market. Condominium and townhome properties are not experiencing the same pressure on prices at the moment,” Harris said. “Individual trends can vary depending on different factors in different areas, so it’s important to do your homework and work with your realtor when you’re looking to determine the market value of a home.” Sales of detached properties
